ABSTRACT:
A tool for facilitating the removal of temporary fiber or plastic film pots from shrubs or other nursery products. The tool comprises an elongated rod having a spike tip at one thereof and a gripping handle integrally formed at the other end. A thin flexible strand or cable is connected at one end proximate the spike tip. The cable has a pull ring or other type of handle to facilitate the gripping thereof. In use, the cable or strand is first aligned with the rod and the spiked end is pushed downward into the root ball next to the side wall of the container in which the plant has been growing. While pushing down on the handle portion of the rod with one hand, the operator grips the ring at the free end of the cable and pulls outwardly and downwardly to cause the cable to cut through the side wall of the container, allowing it to be spread open and the plant to be removed with the root ball generally intact.
